The Power of Ideas

This short film was created as the finale to the series which was released during the last month before the Boat Race and uses interviews with Helena Morrissey, Newton Investment Management’s CEO, as well as both universities’ boat clubs’ coaches and presidents to provide an insight into how the race has progressed from its humble beginnings in the late 1920s into the professional competition it is today, achieved through Newton’s sponsorship and investment. The films also bring together the shared values of perspective, consistency, teamwork and performance and show off the achievements of all the amazing female athletes with their combination of academic and sporting brilliance.
